I know there's an MLB thread going but this guy is so unheralded and unappreciated that I decided he needs his own thread there at Freeones.

1B Jim Thome of the Minnesota Twins hit his 600th home run tonight....only the 8th major league player in history ever to do so. This guy has been so under-the-radar that no one outside the baseball establishment knows who he is, yet he is one of the greatest players ever to lace up the spikes.

Here's an interesting statistical analysis of his road to 600 HRs:

Congratulations, Jim. You did it the right way....selflessly and as the consummate team player. A throwback guy if ever there was one. And all without ever a hint of juicing. We'll see you in Cooperstown, Jim. Well done. VERY well done!
